parade. chamber trying to figure out what clinton knew and when she knew it. no answers were forth coming, and the secretary assumed either no knowledge or no blame over the course of 5 hours of testimony before the senate foreign relations committee and the house foreign affairs committee. this was her reaction to republican senator ron johnson when he questioned her on the administration's false narrative in days and weeks after terrorists killed ambassador christopher stevens and 3 other americans. >> we were mislead, there were supposedly protests and something sprang out of that, that was -- ascertained of that not the fact. and american people could have known that. >> with all due respect, we had 4 dead americans, it was because

of a protestor guys out for a walk one night that decided to go kill some americans, what difference, at this point does it make, it is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it trevofrom ever happening against senator. >> senator accused obama white house and u.n. ambassador rice of lying about what happened in benghazi. >> i categorically reject our answer to senator johnson, the american people deserve to know answers, they don't deserve false answers. and the answers that were given the american people, on september 15, by the ambassador of the united nations, were false. >> the american public waited 4 months for secretary clinton's much anticipated testimony. but today's hearing moved us no closer to the truth. senator john barrasso, a member

of foreign relations commit who questioned secretary clinton will join us tonight from washington. on the debt ceiling extension a deal appears to be in the offing with president obama. he and senate majority leader harry reid signals agreement with house speaker john boehner's debt ceiling legislation that was passed today, we'll take that up with senator barrasso and the a-team tonight. the obama administration and the wake of benghazi told the american people, repeat ed please that u.s. had a strategy, and substantial security present at the consulate. the accountability review boards investigations and subsequent report declared of that not true, that the security measures were in the words of that report, quote, grossly inadequate. our first guest, press secretary clinton on that issue. >> i would ask you today if you believe we had a significant

substantial and strong security present in libya at that time? >> on that night, we had the requisite number of ds agents, we can get mired in the back and forth, but i believe we'll be doing more to help prevent future tragedies and attacks if we take the recommendations. lou: joining us now, senator john barrasso, your assessment to how forth coming, the secretary was, and i would like to explore from back and forth as she put it. >> it is my impression, that she had answers prepared, she was going to give these answers regardless of the way that questions were posed. clearly there was not adequate security in spite o of the talkg

points, and people have been saying afterwards. chris stevens should never have been put in this situation, he was desperately asking for additional security. it of not strong, it proved case that night, i asked questions about has justice been done. the president the day after, the attack said we'll bring those who did this to justice. there has been no justice to the terrorists who did this, i do not believe there is justicity for state department officials who oversaw this and plane moved from one -- and maybe moved from one office to the other but still working for the people of the united states. additionally you see what is happening now in northern afghanistan, my concern -- northern africa, my concern is those to got walker with these attacks, and murders, they have been emboldened. that is why we're seeing what we

seeing in northern africa. lou: the account built review board. made it clear, that the security was grossly inadequate. there is no debate about that. there is no if an anyway, any equivoccasion, that is the conclusion. whereas there is certain amount of am bi ambiguity we welize tht secretary clinton never talked with the diplomatic sickles security ages, he is -- the accountability review board did not talk with the survivors of the benghazi attack. you wonder about the interest n knowing the truth and coming to terms with it in the way in which this country operates against our enemies. your thoughts. >> well, they also done interview secretary clinton.

what we know, is we were in the middle of a political campaign for the presidency, everything that happened in benghazi flew in the face of what the president of the united states have been telling the american people. he has said that al qaeda had been decimated. they have not. high said al qaeda is on the run, they oral rise, if you look at -- they are on the rise, if you look at where they are located now across the world, a huge increase from what the president is letting the american people believe. and what he told the american people just two weeks before election day. what happened in benghazi, flew in the face of the narrative, the story told by this administration about after the death of osama bin laden. lou: if i may, susan rice, going out, senator mccain took note on september 15, on 5 sunday talk shows, the secretary today, was rather flip ant, i thought, in saying, going on

sunday talk shows is not her favorite thing. as if that would be the first condition that would have to be met for her it tracy th addressn people, she assumed no responsibility, no engage. in the process, your thoughts? did she refuse to do so? and you know, how in the world do you deal with the reality a u.n. ambassador lied to the american people. >> my take on the sunday shows that president, white house, the campaign for president's reelection wanted a political operative on those talk shows that give a political message, not a real message, that had to do with our national security and terrorism in the world, susan rice was very willing to be that political operative, that is her history, that is the role she wanted to continue to play with this administration in that campaign.

lou: as we wrap this up. it appears we're in agreement, that nothing new was learned today in this process, we watched a process that took more than 5 hours, involving 16 or 17 u.s. senators, at foreign relations committee, you among them, 46 congressmen, for crying out loud, and we watched a spectical in which it was just -- i can call it political theater but it was more political farce. what you can you do to change the effectiveness in which they care out its duties of oversig oversight? >> who gets elected makes a huge difference. and oversight is a responsibility, there are branches of government, as the early founders said, if men were angels we would need no laws. but there is a series of checks and balances. we've not been able toa.

accomplish that. i have asked the secretary about has al qaeda been decimated. which has been the talking point all through the campaign by the president,. her answer of core al queda has been decimated. the group in afghanistan but now they are spread. lou: it might be that is -- if you will, an equivlens of what you mean by al qaeda. your definition there of. senator great to have with you us, thank you so much. >> thank you. lou: much more on secretary clinton's benghazi testimony today with the a-team, coming up next. >> meet the founder of think thin, former super model, small business owner and health food entrepreneur, liz ann and her success of the economy and california. >> social media goes after the

of weeks. in the house, congressman rosa and raul of arizona put forward a bill that would give gun owners a $1,000 a year tax credit for each of two years for turning in assault rifles to state police, none of these are expected to pass of republican controlled house. president obama's address triggered a scathing response from the national rifle association, the leader, rain lapierre, said that president made a mockery of our constitutional rights. >> they are god-given freedoms they belong to us, in the united states of america as our birth right, no government gave them to us, no government can ever take them away. lou: lapierre argued only reason that federal government would want to create a list of gun owners is to quote, tax them or

the response went groupon before they decided to pull your ad? >> well, their response was, you know, first of all, they contacted me a day after the deal ran. they said, hey, you're deal is going great, it is so good, it is going to sell out. so, why don't we raise the limit of the deal. the deal of actually supposed to be set for 600 people to sign up. lou: for a class for conseep conceal carry you would lead? >> yes, sir, correct, i said, okay great. let us go ahead and raise it to 1500, they sent me an e-mail, i responded back, i said, approved, we raised the limit to 1500 people. lou: that is an amazing response. and exceeding your own particulars, then what happened 32 expectations then what happened 3 days later. >> they contact me, i walked into my office, and said hey

we've canceled your dial, i said why, they said, the ceo of the company, has decided that he is going to cancel any deal that have anything to do with guns, shooting clays, gun ranges or anything like that i said, while, why are we doing that, they said because of all of going to in news, media and white house, we'll cancel anything that has anything tootoo with guns. lou: they are now, quote on quote hiatus. you are calling for a ban. but what has been thei reactionm your customers? people going into your gun shop? >> i'm getting the response from the country. i have been contacted by people in washington state. people in illinois. people in missouri. all the way to florida. and i was contacted by an 80-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted by a repeat

sex offender, who actually contacted groupon to get the dial. they told her no. so, i -- she contacted me, and i told her, not only will i give her the class, i was going to give her the class for free. >> good for you. and so your business is going through the roof, if you will? >> yes, sir, it is. lou: and again, let's talk about that. how to get a hole of you, in case -- hold of you, in case someone else would like to avail themselves of your services, centraltexasgunworks.com. >> yes. lou: right there o on the bottom of the screen. >> yes, the most important thing is reason i got into this business, is my grandmother when she was 70 years old, she decided she was going to travel to college, to get her college

degree, she had only got a high school education. at 70 she centralled back to college, while travelling from a college library, she was at a bus stop, a guy came along, mugged her and tried to rape her. at that point, i decided that, i was going to make sure that every female in my family had the tools they need to protect themselves, groupon is targeting lawful gun ownership in this country. i've had enough. i'm sick of everything that is going on in media and news and dc, and congress and is a sayi, only thing they are doing is targeting lawful gun ownership. people are their time out of their busy schedule to take a 10 hour course, to learn gun save the to learn the law that surrounds the firearms and we're punishing these open, i say now, i'm not going to do, that my

, new revelations. that is not the way it worked out. we did not get anything in a way of answer today from secretary clinton. instead to we got what amounted to political theater to a theater, if you will, that was more farce, theater of the assert my call it what you will. it was a waste of time the most part. we're going to show you just how big a show it was because it was a big show. over in the senate there are 19 senators, 19 senators on the foreign relations committee. over in the house 46 representatives on the foreign affairs committee. that's pretty impressive. that 12 percent of the 113th congress who spent the day asking questions expressing their frustrations over clinton's responses or lack of response. but we don't want to of leave out congressional aides and staff either. senators on the foreign relations committee have on average 15, 15 aids. multiplied that by 19.

that's 285 folks in the foreign affairs numbers have on average. multiplying that by 46. you get 368 votes. pretty good. i mean, this is quite a boondoggle. it is quite a spectacle. it is quite annoying to think about the taxpayer dollars being invested in is that a result. we cannot forget the committee staff members, the committees have their own staffs, of course. the senate for relations committee has 44 aids attached to the staff. the house foreign affairs committee, 46. forty-six staffers. 348 folks, 348 votes over in the senate and in the house a mere 460 people, 460, 460 involved.

a grand total of 800 who cannot get a straight answer from the obama administration about the four lives that were lost four months ago in a gauzy. one thing we did learn for certain today, appearing on the sunday talk shows apparently is not one of secretary clinton's favorite things to do. my guess, it's also not ambassador susan rices favorite thing to do anymore either. we'll see about secretary of state nominee john kerry in the months ahead. success in that time obama and the state of california. how about that. a former supermodel turned health food ceo joins us to tell us how she thinks then and profits. bedbugs. every traveler's nightmare. we will pull back the covers on the cities that are the eight
